What If... Spider-Man had Kept his Six Arms?
This issue was quite good, with only a few flaws overall.
The story managed to show the reader the full effects of Spider-Man's mutation, as unbelieveable they might be. The art was competent, overall, though in a few panels Spider-Man looked kind of fat. Perhaps it's a good thing he lost those arms if it would have meant a fat Spider-Man swinging through New York.
Spider-Man's characterization was true to form, save for his decision to become Peter Parker no more and to fully forgo a normal life. One of the things that makes Spider-Man a great character is his duty to his friends and family.
The only major complaint I have is how Spider-Man became universally beloved by the end of the book. If the public hate and despise him already, the advent of six extra arms isn't going to help matters at all. Also, what was up with him becoming a spokesman for the handicapped and the references to Spider-Man made to becoming a "cripple". If anything, the extra arms allowed him to be not crippled or handicapped to an amazing degree.
Also, this was one of the few "What If?" issues where nearly everyone lived, and things actually turned out all right, which is extremely odd for this series.
Other than for a few moments of disbelief and some panels featuring Fat Spider- Man, a strong book overall.
